MAYOR RE-ELECTED
BY ACCLAMATION
Another testimonial 'of the high
esteem in which the citizens of Boga
lusa hold Mayor W. H. Sullivan was
shown this week, when he was elect
ed Mayor of the City of Bogalusa
f! for * our years by acclamation. Mr.
® ullivan was appointed the first
01 " of Bo S alusa and now has been
elected without opposition. His ad
ministration has been one of the
it
most successful of any municipality
and Bogalusa has made greater
strides during the past four years,
from every standpoint, than any city
in the South. The citizens of Boga
luso propose to keep Mr. Sullivan
mayor of the city as long as he lives.
1873 Registered
Here Thursday
Bogalusa went way "over the top"
again last Thursday when all male
citizens between the ages of 18 to 45

1873 in Bogalusa who were sub
ject to service under the new draft
law. The drawing will be held with
in the next few days, and the ques
tionnaires are expected to arrive
here the early part of next week.
Those who will be in Class A-l will
likely be called into service during
the next month.

TO THE WOMEN OF WASHINGTON
PARISH
My Dear Friends:
Please, everyone of yon, read
this, for everyone of you are di
rectly concerned.
Do you know that the women
of America are on trial before the
eyes of all the world; that the
women of Louisiana are on trial
before the eyes of the United
States; that the women of Wash
ington Parish are on trial before
the eyes of the State of Louisi
ana'/ And we represent Wash
I
ington Parish! The world recog
nizes American men as the great
est men in the world; Ours to
show them that WE measure up to
that standard.
in New Orleans on Monday last
I attended a conference of Louisi
ana Parish chairman for the Wo
man's Liberty Loan Committee
I saw and heard representatives
from alt our neighboring parishes,
and I was proud beyond words
of our Washington Parish. Trials
and tribulations they have had, be
cause of lack of co-operation
among the women—we have not
had because our women are great
hearted, whole-souled, splendid,
working, fighting for one cause,
which is the last, our cause and we
know it. Troubles these c-ther
parishes have had because of un
willingness on the part of the men
to work with the women, we have
not had, because our men appre
ciate us, just as we appreciate
them, and need our help, just as
we need theirs.
The State Chairman called up
on me for a general report or the
last Liberty Loan drive and what
had been done preparatory to the
coming one. I was so happy in
being able to say what I could
say and did' say for Washington
Parish and Bogalusa. 1 told those
ladies that this co-operation be
tween the men and women here
left nothing to be desired. I
quoted the great results of the last
drive and said I knew that the re
sults of the Fourth Loan would
surpass even that splendid record!
You may be sure that they are
watching us, those other parishes,
and we've got to "come across
big!" We CAN do so much!
In the following days a great
many of you will be called, upon
to work tor the Fourth Liberty
Loan drive. Know that you all
wre going to answer with the best
that is in you—and make Wash
ington Parish * OP THE Llitl.
Start now preparing to buy
Bonds and influencing others to
buy them. You know that they
are the best and safest investment

dear.
American women have been
spared so much. Let us spare
nothing in repudiating our great,
everlasting debt to the fighting
nsen of the Allied nations—and in
giving balm to the terrible, throb
ing heartache of our glorious, suf
fering sisters in Europe. Do you
know that there is not ONE wo

Mexicans Celebrate
Nation's Anniversary
This day a group of about 20
Mexicans gathered at the Colonial
Hotel, all headed by S. R. Duval, to
celebrate the anniversary of the
independence. All these Mexicans
£re employees of the Great Southern
Lumber Co., of this" city, mostly la
borers with the exception of two or.
three who have been prominent fig
ures in the sister Republic and Mr.
Duval, the "chairman" who as speci
fied, headed the entire commission.
This group organized the banquet
and fixed that the expenses was to
ed, However, this
known to Mr. W. k. Sullivan, Vice
President of the Great Southern
Lumber Co., who at onee ordered
that these Mexicans be entertained,
given banquet and music, etc., and
that they should not undergo any
expense at all, charging all of these
to his own personal account.
Later in the afternoon the group
appeared at the # general offices of the
Great Southern Lumber Co., to an
nounce their thanks personally to
Mr. Sullivan. However, Mr. Sulli
van was not at his office at that mo
ment and a representative was re
quested by Mr. Duval, in order to ap
pear and in behalf of Mr. Sullivan
accept the thanks so heartily tend
ered by this crowd, to whom Mr. Du
val addressed speaking in favorable
terms in Spanish, explaining that the
the Great Southern Lumber Co., was
at all times ready to stand by its
employees, and also stating that
whatever volume of Mexicans came
to Bogalusa that they should always
find work, and make their homes,
considering themselves welcome.
It is remarkable alter all, that
such a small group of Mexicans,
hardly knowing each other, located
themselves to celebrate their anni
versary, being each and everyone
present at the banquet and the feast
where in due opportunity they also
appreciated the fact of being guests
in this country and stated that they
would do all that there is in their
power to carry out all labor assigned
to them, with as much acuracy as
there may be in their reach.
The undersigned wishes that the
thanks be tendered anew to Mr.
Sullivan through the news lines, ac
knowledging not only the thanks, but
also a thorough co-operation to
carry out their labor with the satis
faction and the trust that Mr. SuIH
van characterizes promising him that,
he wiH always remain satisfied with
whatever volume of Mexicans ever
may have to stop in this city for
living purposes.
For the entire committee or or
